Ex-boxing champion brutally stoned to death in street over alleged robbery

FORMER boxing champ Manelisi Mbilase has been brutally stoned to death in South Africa for allegedly robbing two women.

The 40-year-old former South African featherweight title holder was allegedly part of a three-strong group that was chased down by locals after the attack in East London in the Eastern Cape of his homeland.

Mbilase, who is claimed to have threatened the females with a knife, was then brutally beaten with rocks and fists.

South African news outlets report the attackers were “shouting and singing” as they “took turns to beat him up before loading him in a wheelbarrow” and “leaving him by the government building” in an example to others potential thieves.

An alleged witness told Anzimag he was woken at 6am by two women screaming, and said: “There were three tsotsis.

“Two were already far away but Mbilase was running into nearby bushes to hide a bag.”
